It's almost weird to hear a guitar so well in tune..

I really like the way you compensated that nut, learn something every day. I could do that with my dremel tool. Got plenty of blanks and I ain't seen to many Gibson that didn't need it. Thanks, good video.

I tried wrap around on my sg and set it up for it using Bonamasa’s guitar tech trick and it made me change all of my stop tailpieces you this method. I’m a huge fan.

Just figured out the wrap-around for myself on my ES-137 Custom. Decking the tailpiece really brings out the piano-like dynamics lent by the ebony fingerboard and the clean sustain of the soundblock. And it now stays in tune also! Those of you with brand new Gibsons and inexplicable tuning problems take heed, and make the change. The thing was just fine from case to couch, bending and sliding, from early morning to evening on an NYC spring day with big swings in humidity and temp. I don't know why Gibson doesn't ship these from the factory strung up as such, or just tell their customers that this is the correct way to do it. I have closeted this guitar for years because it never felt quite right to play. Now - oh man, what a tone!

I love how you test the intonation - on some of my guitars it's really hard to get a good intonation and others are just fine but nowhere close to your magic tuning.

That Yamaha sounded very nice indeed , I've been contemplating buying one for a while but nobody I know has ever had one but after seeing this I'll be grabbing one next trip I take to the big smoke .

Great video that I picked up on when viewing the comments in another player's video this morning who said top wrapping his LP Custom had not worked for him. I see from this video there is a bit to consider overall. Interesting comment: "Of the 200 Gibsons I've done, I've only top wrapped 5" (hope I got that right). Glad to be a new subscriber, thanks.....

I have a late ‘70s Les Paul Special, I’ve top wrapped that guitar for years for the exact reason you state. Before top wrapping I used to break A and high E strings because the rested on the back of the bridge, got the idea from Dan Erlewine’s old magazine column, haven’t broken strings since.

Could not agree more on this! I changed both of my Les Pauls to the Faber nickel masterkit, they provide 3 sizes of bushes to ensure you can achieve a full lock down of the tailpiece, together with clearance from the bridge casting. Of course this is easier to achieve with the ABR-1 as opposed to the much wider Nashville bridge!
